Chapter 1

Claire

Run….run like you've never ran before! Fire. Fire everywhere. The screams. The screams of those who were caught up in this. My brother no where to be found. "Brother!"

Raging fire surrounding my brother…..no….no! The house….Its not my fault! No! no!

"No!" She yelped and startled awake. Claire's eyes popped open. Making effort to sit up, she realized that she was in her room and it happened to be just a dream. A dream that happened three years ago. Back when she was twelve. She sighed and got out of bed, pulled back the curtains to only get blinded by the sun. adjusting her eyes she looked out the window. Today is the day that I came to this place. The day where it all began. Looking around her room memories flooded her brain. Two years…..since then. Not a single call from my parents. She peered out the window again, and noticed a moving truck out in the drive way of Shane's old house. Someone's moving in? After getting dressed she hurried downstairs and entered the not so quiet kitchen. For the past two years Shane and his family have been living here, Though she doesn't mind it, in fact it makes her feel a part of a family, even if its not hers. "Claire there you are! Where have you been? You need to tell your boyfriend to keep away from my plate."

Claire smiled at Alyssa before laying her eyes on her almost- seventeen year old boyfriend. Its been two years since they got together. I still hadn't said those three words to him, even though he says them to me all the time now. I don't know why im holding back, just something is holding me from confessing.

"Claire loves me to much to take your side!" Shane retorted. He got to his feet and kissed Claire's cheek. "Good morning beautiful."

Claire suddenly felt heat beneath her cheeks as she noticed Alyssa and Adam were staring. "Shane stop. Not in front of your siblings."

"Especially when we're eating." Fourteen year old Adam said. He looked like another Shane Collins. His hair was just flopped to the opposite side and was shorter then his brothers. Claire honestly couldn't help herself when she saw him. She immediately hugged Adam's neck and gave him a big bear hug. She's been doing this for quite a while now. "Good morning to you too!"

Adam squirmed in my arms. "Get off meeee! Shane!"

Claire sighed and let him loose. "Sorry I just couldn't help myself."

Alyssa, now nineteen years old chuckled as she got up. "Come on Adam lets go see what mother wanted before these two made their appearances." She took a hold of Adam's hand as he followed his sister out the door.

It didn't take a second for them to be alone when she felt arms around her torso. Looking up she saw Shane smiling down at her. "Soooo….Tomorrow is my birthday."

"I know."

"My seventeenth I might add."

"Yes Shane I know." He was like a puppy begging for a dog treat. He is so cute when he's like this, but I must stay firm! Turning in his arms Claire hugged his neck. "I made sure to get you a present already. And no I cant tell you."

"Give me hints?"

She knew she could give him a hint or two but what would be the fun in that? She shook her head and kissed his lips. "Sorry buddy. Got to wait for tomorrow." I pulled away before making my way into the kitchen. Shane followed.

"Oh come on that's so long!"

"Its only twenty four hours."

"That's too long for a man to wait."

She frowned at him. If he cant wait for a simple present then how can he wait for me to be ready to….. She looked away and stared at the glass in her hand and the carton of orange juice in her other. He doesn't push me into it. Nor does he hint to me that he wants to do it…..but I just cant believe he'd wait so long for me to be ready… plus I haven't even said those three words yet….and its been two years. If I cant say "I love you" Then how can I possibly give myself up to him…Pathetic.

She looked up when hearing a heavy sigh from him. He had his hands shoved in his jacket. He shrugged. "Just forget it…. I'll wait." He gave me a smile then fled out of the kitchen. She stared at the swinging door, feeling a bit angry at him. He was doing his whole guilt thing in order to get his way again. She sighed. Have a boyfriend is a strain on your health sometimes. Claire gave that some thought as she gulped down her orange juice. She peered out the window, watching movers go back and forth in and out of the house next door. I wonder if I should be a friendly neighbor and say hi…..She debated on it for about three minutes before sitting her empty glass down and making her way out the door and coming into the blinding sun. I hate the end of summer. Nothing but heat. She padded my way over to Shane's old house but stopped at a distance. The house looked abandoned. Well it was. But after two long years the house will finally be with a family.

"Who could be moving in….." Claire mumbled. About five minutes later of observing she saw a girl about Adam's age maybe a year younger coming down the walk way. The girl stopped when she noticed Claire. The girl had cute red colored braids and was in boy clothes. She also had a cap on her head. She looked pale as ever. Her blue eyes widened when she was staring at Claire. "Claire?" She said in her small voice. It took a minute or two to figure it out but once Claire did she gasped in surprise.

"Gracie!?" Claire didn't know who made the first move before they both were wrapped in each others arms. "Gracie! Why are you here? Is everything okay at home!?" Claire asked as she held her niece at arms length.

"Mama got into a big fight with grandpa and grandma. Daddy decided he wasn't going to have it and moved us to where you were sent. This way we could be a family again." Gracie explained.

"A family?" Claire grew excited at first then frowned at what she would loose. She stared at the house next to Shane's old house. For two years I've been living with Shane's family….I made myself apart of their family…. Gracie grabbed Claire's hand and smiled at Claire. "Don't worry, from the letters and emails mama got from you we figured you didn't want to leave that Shane family. So mama isn't going to make you move out. Though I do want you to see her!" Claire felt relived hearing that, now she didn't have to make a choice. It wouldn't of been pretty. Claire made her way inside with Gracie. Staring at the foyer brought back memories of that last night Shane's father was seen, well until he made another appearance when Shane and her were switched. "Mama! Mama!" Gracie called out, skipping to the living room. Claire followed mutedly. Gracie was always the rambunctious out of them two. That must have been the age difference between her and Claire. Claire smiled when met with her sister in the kitchen. Its been ages since she's seen her. "Abbey-"

Her sister didn't give her a chance to say anything else as she squeezed Claire into a big bear hug. "Oh my god I missed you!" She held Claire at arms length. "Have you been eating okay? How are you in school!? When have you last showered-"

"Abbey! Calm down okay." Claire chuckled at her insane sister. She pulled away. "Shane's mother has been taking good care of me."

"Silly mama. Don't you remember?"

Abbey grew red as she composed herself. She gave us a small smile. "Sorry. Its just been years since I've seen my sister. How old are you…..fourteen?" She joked. Claire glared. "Im fifteen thank you!"

Abbey laughed and was about to say something but stopped when Claire's phone rang. Claire smiled apologetically and made her way out of the kitchen. She picked up her phone and smashed it against her ear. "Hello."

"Don't hello me missy. We have plans! Where is your sneaky butt."

Claire chuckled. "Im in your house."

"Where? I looked for you everywhere…..even the basement! Claire!"

"I meant your old home smart one." Claire said. There was a moment of silence then some shifting noise before a door closing. "Why are you there?"

"Well I met up with the people who are moving in-"

"Claire! Who's that!?" Gracie rammed into Claire, taking her by surprise making her fall onto her butt and dropping her phone. Gracie blushed. "S-sorry…"

"No harm done…." Claire picked up the phone and got it against her ear only to hear the last words he was spouting. "-they better be nice…"

"What was that? Sorry I dropped my phone."

Shane sighed. "I said that those people who I don't know should know that you have an over protective boyfriend and they better be nice."

Claire rolled her eyes. "I'll be out in a few so cool it hot head-"

"Only hot for you."

He always knew how to make her laugh.

Alright. Im going to stop here for now. The next chapter I will have Shane's pov but right now I need a break and I cant think anymore. I really hope this was a good chap. I know the beginning was a joke but trust me it'll get better. I promise!

I love you guys so much! Please review and tell me what you think! I'd be happy to read and see if this story is better, BTW Claire will not be a psychotic killer like I was riding towards, that's why I made this sequel. I cant do a dark Claire, it just doesn't feel right to destroy a good person that was created by a great author. Anyways again I hope you liked it and enjoyed.

Review! Ill give you a cookie! Even if you don't lol (::) There! Lol.
